| Guest | 2 laptops stolen - best way to use Foldershare to wipe the files? Hi, I had 2 laptops stolen over the weekend that both had Foldershare installed on them, running under my account. In the slim chance that someone manages to log on to these accounts, what's the best way to use Foldershare to wipe the files? The only thing I could think of was to move everything out of my libraries with my 3rd PC, then next time the 2 stolen laptops log on, then everything will be deleted too? Any thoughts? Many thanks. |

FS account, FS will not actually wipe or delete anything - it will merely move the library files from their locations in the library folders to the FS Trash folder. Tony |

FolderShare doesn't put the old versions in the Trash. After putting a copy of the files somewhere, of course. Of course, I can't test this, because THE NEW VERSION DOESN'T WORK!!! Ahem, sorry. Calmer now. richi. www.richij.com |
